Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a heavy, large pan, melt the butter and the sugar, together being careful they don't burn.
Step 2
When the mixture is well coloured, remove from the heat and add the pear slices in a single layer and then add the water to stop further caramelisation or even burning and cook the pears for about 5 minutes, turning once until they are soft and the sauce is syrupy.
Step 3
Cut two 12cm round from each sheet of pastry and place the discs on a greased baking tray and lay the pear slices in an attractive patter on the pastry round, leaving a small pastry edge.
Step 4
Brush liberally with the syrup and bake in a preheated 200C oven for about 10 minutes or until the pastry is well browned and cooked.
Step 5
Place the pizzas/tarts on the serving plates, pour on the rest of the syrup and top with a dollop of the mascarpone.
